Muse - Stockholm Syndrome (Song)
Stockholm Syndrome is a song by Muse which appears on their album Absolution. The song starts off with an extremely heavy guitar riff which is quite uncharacteristic of Muse just because of how metal sounding and aggressive it is. To be honest, I’m surprised that I heard this from …

Beanie Sigel - Mac Man (song)
Beanie Sigel is considered by many to be an underrated rapper. Though I’m not a huge fan of his, I appreciate his unique style. I just think behind his clever rhymes he kind of has an odd delivery and voice to be honest. Mac Man is the 4th track …
Metallica - To Live Is To Die (Song)
To Live Is To Die, the third instrumental released by Metallica, is unfortunately a track which I define as having a truly brilliant middle melodic section, one of Metallica’s greatest sections throughout their career, but for the most part is just a lot of boring rhythms without much progress …
4 Minutes by Madonna Featuring Justin Timberlake
4 Minutes by Madonna Featuring Justin Timberlake is not that bad. It also has Timbaland featuring in it as well. For my local radio station, is busy blaring this tune most of the time. I must say that there is a perfect combination for these 2, including …

Album : The Who - Who’s Next (1971)

Yngwie Malmsteen’s Rising Force-Perpetual Flames
Everybody who plays guitar knows Yngwie Malmsteen. I grew up listening to his music. In my teens I always wondered could I play the guitar like him? No doubt that he is one of the most influential guitarist in the world. His speed and neoclassical styles had inspired …

Apocalyptica: Reflections
Well, I have been a fan of these guys for a while and when I heard that they were releasing another CD, I kind of had my doubts. I felt that these guys had reached their peaks at just having cellos and distortion effects in their music. But I …
Achtung Baby 1991 Album by U2
Achtung Baby is my second favorite album by U2 after the 1997 album called Pop. Many critics praise this album. And I do agree with them. Many fans of U2 think that this album is of their best, and they are right. Music, can it be assessed objectively, should …
Duran Duran Live From London DVD
This magical show was filmed at Wembley Arena back in April 2004 and the DVD was released in November 2005. I bought a copy as soon as it came out and I have to say that I haven’t stopped watching it since. I must have watched it a million …

Massive Attack with Martina Topley Bird May 29 @ Malkin Bowl
After aimlessly traipsing through the back of muddy woodland Stanley Park for just under two hours one would surmise that standing in the rain another few hours listening to a band whose album 100th Window mostly contained minimal loops and a dark delve into classical music, would be torturous. …
Hurt - Vol.1
In 2006 this band emerged from seemingly nowhere, and I’m glad I found out about them because they are a good and interesting band to listen to, upon first hearing them I immediately thought “I’ve heard this before, another band cashing in on the likeness of Tool, another MJK …
Singer: Jermaine Jackson
I actually look at Jermaine Jackson as the best singer of the Jackson Family, although I often get shouted at for saying that. Jermaine could have easily gotten to the heights that his brother Michael Jackson did if he had his heart truly into the music, but instead he …
Acacia strain the band
The acacia strain band is a metal band whose music is actually quite decent but they can improve on a few things. I like the acacia strain because they can really belt out some deep growls and their voices sound scary when they are belting out metal. I can’t …
The Doors - You Make Me Real (Song)
You Make Me Real is a song by The Doors which appears on their album Morrison Hotel. The track starts off with a very energetic piano part in the left channel before the rest of the band comes in which fills up the sound and certainly maintains this energetic …
Megadeth - No More Mister Nice Guy (Song)
No More Mister Nice Guy is a cover performed by Megadeth which appears on their record Hidden Treasures. The track starts off with that classic riff from Alice Cooper’s track but certainly with a more aggressive tone and just sort of more an electrified tone coming from Mustaine. Although …
Back Here by BBMak
This UK Band, singing their hit single titled, Back Here is one of the best songs ever sung by this band. And this band is none other than BBMak. I don’t know whether the BB and the Mak should be close or separated, but that’s more or less …

So Solid Crew - Broken Silence - Single
This is a track that takes me back to my last year at University, this was when it was released, 2003 I think. I don’t re-call many sharing my opinion as it was So Solid Crew.
Previous tracks had caused offense to some and they had been in the press …
“Stereo Love” by Edward Maya & Vika Jigulina
Recently I came across a song on the radio that I have not been able to get out of my head. Usually, it is not my sort of genre of music type, and I go for more of the classic rock or modern rock sort of songs, but this …
Enrique Bunbury - Wanna be like you (Song)
I’m a big fan of spanish rock band Heroes del Silencio and their front man Enrique Bunbury. Bunbury has made all kinds of music, rock, folk, electronic, he is a chameleon just like Bowie. One of those songs he has released that has nothing to do with anything else …
Eminem - The Slim Shady LP

Animal Collective - Bat You’ll Fly (Song)
Bat You’ll Fly is a song by Animal Collective which appears on their record Spirit They’ve Gone, Spirit They’ve Vanished. Taking a slightly more upbeat feel and tempo, Bat You’ll Fly is another track where the vocals seem to be primarily in the spotlight as the instrumentation is fairly …

Ciara - Get Up
This song is pretty old, but it’s still good to listen. Get up is the soundtrack of movie step up. It’s a R n B song.

Iron Maiden - Blood On The World’s Hands (Song)
Blood On The World’s Hands is a song by Iron Maiden which appears on their record The X Factor. The track starts off with a keyboard part which establishes somewhat of an eerie mood to the track and makes me hopeful that the song will build. I’m not exactly …

“Snows In July” song by Craig David
Craig David, who was once considered a protégée to Michael Jackson because of the sales of his first album “Born To Do It” really saw his career take a toll down the wrong street on his sophomore album and the ones that followed.
But in 2012, after jumping in and …

System Of A Down - Sugar (Music Video)
Overview —“ Sugar, a second music video and single released by System Of A Down for their self-titled debut record is a track that I feel represents the band a bit better than how the first music video, Spiders, did. From the start to the finish of this track …
The Underdog Project - Summer Jam
This song from Underdog Project is not a new song, but I always miss this song to listen again and again. Though this song is becoming hits in 2001, until now, I feel that this music in this song is always fresh.
This song is can be a party song …
Pink Floyd - Atom Heart Mother
Overview - Atom Heart Mother, Pink Floyd’s fourth album, follows a structure that is similar to the one they would use on Wish You Were Here. Basically the album starts and ends with instrumentals, both very epic, and in between there are three more “traditional songs”. The set up …
Sheryl Crow Detours
Sheryl Crow’s sixth studio album, Detours, reflects globally and on Crow herself. Crow’s lyrics are maternal, religious, hopeful and at times political. Spaced between them are monotonous “oh”s and “yeah yeah yeah”s (good example in “Gasoline”). Disappointingly, this album does not show Crow’s powerful, playful vocals made her a …
Lyon by Washburn electric guitar
I bought a cheap but good deal electric guitar, Lyon by Washburn. Black, nicely finished and very neat. There’s no pickguard and the dots on the fretboard is on the top and kind of invisible because it’s so small. The guitar itself looks like Washburn OX11 …

The Music and Art that is Lykke Li
Although not well known in the United States until her song “Possibility” was featured on the “New Moon” movie soundtrack, Swede Lykke Li was already well known in her native country.
